delay in boot up. installing ndiswraper ,and some other packages [solved]

[ramaswamyps]

this is a new installation of pclos lxde .
during every boot it delays by 3 minutes during the end phase of boot up.
it keeps on installing ndiswraper and some other packages and keeps failing to install completely.
how do i catch the full messages flashing on the screen?
how to avoid this delay?
it was a faster boot up in earlier versions.

Open PCC --> System --> Manage system services by enabling or disabling them, then uncheck the On Boot box for dkms. You only need to run dkms once, when installing a new kernel, then it can be turned off until such time as an even newer kernel is installed.

You're welcome.

Just remember, if you do install another kernel, before rebooting to use it, you will have to check the On Boot box for dkms, again. After your reboot into that kernel, all your dkms drivers will be rebuilt during the boot process, and once you reach the desktop, you can then, once more, uncheck the dkms On Boot box.

yes i understand the importance of dkms service.
thanks again.
